Stock The Pantry 03/06/08: Cereal, Cereal, & MORE Cereal
I’m going to have to agree with Money Saving Mom…this IS National Free Cereal Week! Let’s just recap all of the free cereal we’ve seen this week.
Visit each link below for details on how to purchase free cereal at each store listed.
1.) Shop Rite and Safeway: Malt-O-Meal, Total, Cheerios, and more
Even more details at Megan’s Bargains and More, The Happy Housewife, Mommy Making Money, Hopping Through Life, and of course – Be Thrifty Like Us, who first reported this deal.
2.) Harris Teeter: Honey Bunches of Oats
3.) Albertson’s: Honey Bunches of Oats
4.) Meijer: Raisin Bran
5.) Online: Free Cereal Samples
(By the way, if you have a large freezer, boxes/bags of cereal can be frozen to maintain their freshness.)
Something cool happened to me last night at Safeway, and I have no idea how! Our Safeway has Honey Bunches of Oats on sale 2/$4 and a Sunday insert coupon for Cinnamon Life and Cinnamon Toast Crunch 5/$5. I took with me 6 coupons for $2 off Honey Bunces of Oats and 4 coupons for $1 off Cinnamon Life. I bought 6 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats and 5 boxes of Cinnamon Life (plus 2 jars of sunflower seeds at 2/$2.22). At the checkstand, I was expecting to pay a total of $3.22.
Instead, there was more than $6 overage. The cashier was going to zero it out, because they can’t give cash back. But there was no one in line behind me, so I RAN to the dairy section and grabbed two gallons of milk and two pounds of cheddar cheese.
When all was said and done, I owed $3.59 for over $60 worth of groceries. Somehow, $10 was deducted for cereal automatically. I’m assuming it was for purchasing 6 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats, but I haven’t seen that advertised anywhere. I’d like to go back and do the same thing tonight, but I’m worried that it might have been a fluke.
When I went this morning, the coupon deducted $10 off automatically. It sounds like your cashier may have given you the $10 off twice if she manually took another $10 off with the coupon. I would have been really excited if that happened as well! I had a $10 off $50 from the Enjoy The City coupon book so I got a great deal and was thrilled!
I’m sad I leave in Georgia and we don’t have any of these stores. But i did go sign up for free cereal samples.
At Ingle’s, Honey Bunches of Oats should be $2/4. With the printable coupons, they’re free!
POST CEREALS — 13 Oz. Cocoa, Fruity, or Bam Bam Pebbles, or 14.5 Oz. Assorted Varieties Honey Bunches of Oats

I went to my local Walgreens with the coupons for the Jane make-up and got 3 rounds of lipgloss (with 5 colors per round), a mascara, 2 lipsticks, and 2 blush – and walked out paying $1.37! THANKS!!!
